What is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (–2, –3) and is parallel to the line y = x + 9?

Question

anonymous · Answer

slope of $y=mx+b$ is $m$ 
in your case $m=1$ so your slope should be 1

anonymous · Answer

okayy , where do i go from there ?

anonymous · Answer

then use the point slope formula $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ with $x_1=-2, y_1=-3.m=1$

anonymous · Answer

you should start with 
$$y+3=1(x+2)$$ then get rid of the silly "1" and write 
$$y+3=x+2$$

anonymous · Answer

and finally you can solve for $y$ by subtracting 3 from both sides and write 
$$y=x-1$$

anonymous · Answer

so then this would be my final equation ?
